Budget templates

To make designing your budget easier, Logframer has a number of budget templates:

  • Direct/Admin cost: very often budgets have two big blocks:
    • the direct costs (working costs) with the actual costs of the activities, the staff costs, investments costs and so on
    • the administration costs (indirect costs): calculated as a percentage of the direct costs and destined for overhead costs of the (head) office.
  • Humanitarian budget templates:
    • ECHO (European Commission Humanitarian Office)
    • DFID (Department for International Development – UK
    • CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency)
  • Budget templates for Development assistance:
    • EuropeAid (European Commission development agency)

If you click on one of the buttons of the Structure section of the Lay-out toolbar, Logframer will prepare the budget template for you. Some of these templates are multi-year templates, while others are simple templates.
